Babylon — Tuesday Film

May 14 @ 1:30 pm - 3:05 pm

Franco Rosso’s incendiary BABYLON had its world premiere at Cannes in 1980 but went unreleased in the U.S. for “being too controversial, and likely to incite racial tension.” Raw and smoldering, it follows a young dancehall DJ in South London as he pursues his musical ambitions, battling fiercely against the racism and xenophobia of employers, neighbors, police, and the National Front.“Revealing and raw in its political and sociological spectrum. Unapologetically radical, intrusive and emotionally gripping…a blistering commentary…” — Frank Ochieng, ScreenAnarchy“Babylon is a hidden gem worth seeking out if it comes to your city.” — Lee Jutton, Film InquiryFind the trailer & tickets here: https://www.grandcinema.com/films/babylon/
